Season 05. ScoresCommutation
A homage to avant-garde recording techniques and a dedication to the artistic method of commutation
2096 fx has conceived the mix as a commutation machine that connects William Burroughs’ seminal text on the cut-up method, which built on Dadaist experiments with collage and anticipated the emergence of sampling and field recordings, to his own musical experiments and a wide range of experimental music: from Detroit techno to futurist ambient, and from Psychic TV to the New Composers. In the audio collage one can also distinguish the crackle of Cash Register Poems by Edward Kulemin, who proposed the idea of commutation, a method of «crumpling» that brings poetic and musical practices closer together.

About the Artist
2096 fx is a live project by electronic musician Matvei Shchetinkin, in which he explores avant-garde methods of working with sound. Each mix is an explosive collage of ambient music, spoken word, rustling field recordings, and chirring drone synthesizers.
